What's a Free Squat?

Please could people elaborate on what's the definition of a "free squat" here within DC.

I've searched for a definitive without success.
Is it just a barbell squat?
A free motion squat machine?
Like callenetics body weight squats like air squats?

I've given up searching. Please guys chime in.

Cheers

A free squat is just a regular barbell squat, the "free squat" comes from "free weight".

We do get a lot of confusion about nomenclatures concerning DC training, if you have any other doubts, feel free to ask!

Cheers, I didn't see the correlation between free weight and free squat. Makes sense.

See if there's any contradictions.

think of any weight that is in a 3 dimensional space as free. you have complete control of it vs the weight being tethered via cable or a guide.

I would put the standard barbell squat, the yoke-bar squat and the manta-ray squat in that category, although each of them is a unique move.
